Weighted Two-Parameter Quantum Divergences Generated by Matrix Power-Mean Gaps
Abstract
Let ℙn be the cone of n× n complex positive definite matrices. For 0<θ<1 and r≥0, let Mr(θ) denote the weighted matrix power mean, with the logarithmic endpoint at r=0, defined by Mr(θ)(A,B) = ((1−θ)Ar+θBr)1/r, & r>0, [2mm] exp((1−θ)log A+θlog B), & r=0. For p>q≥0, we introduce Φp,q(θ)(A,B) = Tr[Mp(θ)(A,B)−Mq(θ)(A,B)]. We prove that Φp,q(θ) is a quantum divergence in the sense of Bhatia-Gaubert-Jain. Moreover, for 0≤ q≤1≤ p≤2, p>q, it is jointly convex and satisfies the data processing inequality for completely positive trace-preserving maps, with the output side interpreted by the regularized boundary convention whenever it is singular. The construction recovers Hellinger-type and Jensen-Shannon-type quantities as special cases or limits. We also compute the induced local quadratic form and provide scalar and matrix obstructions showing that the convexity and data-processing range cannot be extended to all parameters.

AB - Let ℙ_n be the cone of n× n complex positive definite matrices. For 0<θ<1 and r≥0, let M_r^(θ) denote the weighted matrix power mean, with the logarithmic endpoint at r=0, defined by M_r^(θ)(A,B) = ((1−θ)A^r+θB^r)^1/r, & r>0, [2mm] exp((1−θ)log A+θlog B), & r=0. For p>q≥0, we introduce Φ_p,q^(θ)(A,B) = Tr[M_p^(θ)(A,B)−M_q^(θ)(A,B)]. We prove that Φ_p,q^(θ) is a quantum divergence in the sense of Bhatia-Gaubert-Jain. Moreover, for 0≤ q≤1≤ p≤2, p>q, it is jointly convex and satisfies the data processing inequality for completely positive trace-preserving maps, with the output side interpreted by the regularized boundary convention whenever it is singular. The construction recovers Hellinger-type and Jensen-Shannon-type quantities as special cases or limits. We also compute the induced local quadratic form and provide scalar and matrix obstructions showing that the convexity and data-processing range cannot be extended to all parameters.
